Numerous programming exercises reveal the rich set of kernel APIs that provide a multitude of services to driver programmers. This training teaches you how Linux handles asynchronous IO in a way that is totally transparent to applications. You'll examine the unique problems of debugging in Kernel space. Perhaps most important, you'll see how much of a device driver involves interactions with the kernel that have nothing to do with accessing physical hardware. Although the exercises are carried out on a PC, much of the code is easily ported to other architectures supported by Linux. br br Course Prerequisites:br To successfully complete this device driver training you should be proficient in C programming and have some experience with Linux at the application level.
